bacon jerky, a new kind of bacony goodness snack for bacon lovers (link)

friggin' bacon. one day, it's just another part of a hearty breakfast & the next, it's become all hip & shit. one company has even gone as far as to come out with baconnaise & bacon salt, because, as their slogan says, "everything should taste like bacon." hasn't this damn bacon craze gone far enough? how many bacon-themed tattoos & articles of clothing must we endure before the madness ends? i'm actually a fan of bacon, with a leaning towards the turkey variety, but all this "i ♥ bacon" nonsense that's going around is seriously making me reconsider our relationship.

one such organization fighting on the side of bacon evil is bacon freak's “bacon is neat candy” gourmet bacon club, who has now created a bacon jerky. according to what appears to be a press release (& a biased one at that) on newswire, a few months back, the folks at bacon freak created bacon jerky. as a result, "no longer are you limited to eating bacon at home." as one who can't even count the amount of times i've longed to be able to tear into some bacon while i'm out & about but haven't felt comfortable doing so, i can now "satisfy (my) daily bacon urges on the go."

bacon jerky is one of those snacks you shouldn't have to share with your friends, but with flavors like "coastal caliente jalapeno bacon" & "boss hog hickory bacon," it sounds like it'd be tough not to. luckily, as the press release notes, "the best part about bacon jerky in comparison to regular bacon is that when you cook bacon, the aroma floats through the air calling out to those around you to come and get it which means that you have to share." with bacon jerky, not only is there no cooking involved, but all that baconacity is now contained in a pouch that you can squirrel away from your friends. the press release also notes that "you can simply enjoy a few pieces and those around you want know that you're snacking on the most delectably delicious bacon ever."  that's not proper english, but who cares when you've got bacon jerky?
